Experimental: Phase 1: Dose Escalation |
Drug: Autologous Plasmablasts
Autologous Plasmablasts engineered to express α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) using the Sleeping Beauty transposon system. Phase 1:
Phase 2: - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) established in Phase I Other Name: Sleeping Beauty |
Experimental: Phase 2 - Expansion at MTD |
Drug: Autologous Plasmablasts
Autologous Plasmablasts engineered to express α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) using the Sleeping Beauty transposon system. Phase 1:
Phase 2: - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) established in Phase I Other Name: Sleeping Beauty |
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of autologous plasmablasts engineered to express large amounts of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) using a Sleeping Beauty transposon approach
- Growth Velocity (cm/year) [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]Growth velocity in centimeters/year over a one-year period through determinations of sitting and standing height at baseline and post infusion
- Safety and Tolerability after Infusion: Incidence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]Incidence of Adverse Events
- Z-score Growth Rate [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]Estimate the 1-year Z-score growth rate standardized for age and gender
- Donor Engraftment [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months and 1 Year ]Estimate percent myeloid donor chimerism (CD33/66b) at baseline and at 6 and 12 months.
- Levels of circulating antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA and IgE) [ Time Frame: 1 Year ]Determine levels of circulating antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA and IgE) at baseline and at scheduled time points post infusion.
